Hello everyone,
I want to delete the empty cells in the cell array of the picture. How do I do it? Thanks in advance!

That's a 2D cell array w/ three columns, not a 3D array.
c=c(~cellfun(@isempty,c));

No can do.
Even a cell array itself must be rectangular; it can contain variable-length (including 0) elements in a cell but it, itself as the container is not "jagged".
Nor is there a sparse cell array.
Bestest I see you could do would be to save the one column and a corollary variable of column number.
Or, if it's just the display formatting of the empty brackets, could make that a little less obvious by setting all the empty cells to the empty string instead of empty.
